I find love and express myself by creating art and giving something to the world that they can feel through. Without art. There is no love.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
It’s hard to say one particular type of art. It’s all about feeling the moment & which way it pulls me. Anything that drives me in THAT moment or place in my life. Whatever moves my emotions, brings others joy, or a place in time we can escape the normal day to day movements. Sometimes we need to express sorrow, anger, joy. And sometimes we just want to bring back the child in ourselves. Which is what led me to creating dolls. Sculpting. Music, clothing/costuming. Paint. It’s all LOVE & passion.
Where do you find inspiration?So many places. It all started as a young child watching my father working on film projects & painting billboards. I was so amazed, I wanted to create the things my imagination would come up with. Then it was music. I found inspiration in singing, song writing, dancing. Designing clothing!! But the biggest inspiration along side my father is always emotion. Feeling. Connecting with others on a deeper level through it all. The children’s charities art allowed me to do inspired me to continue.
What would you do with $25,000?Honestly? All my rescue animals needs. And last year Mom fell very sick.. during her recovery we lost my father unexpectedly. They have done everything in the world for me. And now we are struggling to get by since losing Dad. MY art IS my work and way to support us. Our homes are facing troubles. It would be a blessing and the biggest miracle I could ask for. I joined this competition when it popped up like a light in the constant darkness. And I’m just excited and grateful I’m in it at all.
